Jennifer Hudson – JHUD : September 23rd. 2014

The very beautiful and very talented Jennifer Hudson is set to release her third album this September. Jennifer was speaking about this album and was quoted saying this time around the albums the music will be different, “It’s different expressions of me as an artist, a girl, a music lover. Earlier in my career I was just a soloist singing other people’s songs. Now I really want to be an artist. I want to lift the people up, have fun, create a moment. I have my own visions that I want to bring to life.” We look forward to what this beauty has to offer in her 3rd studio release.

Chris Brown – X : September 16th, 2014

This coming of age album from the not so shy R&B crooner will be titled “X”. For Chris Brown, the title of the album speaks personal volumes about him and his life. “It’s the Roman numeral for 10. 5/5/89 is my birthday: 5 plus 5 is 10, and this is my tenth year since I got into music. ‘X’ is the 24th letter in the alphabet, and I will turn 24 when this album comes out. ‘X’ is also a metaphor, as in ‘ex-girlfriend’: it implies you’re progressing and moving on in life, not holding on to the past and your old ways”, When asked about the meaning behind the title of his up coming release. We can’t go wrong with a maturing Chris Brown creating music that symbolizes change and forward progression.

Steve Aoki – Neon Future 1 – September 30th, 2014

Mr. King Of Cakes himself, Steve Aoki is slated to release what seems to be the first of multiple volumes of “Neon Future”. We love Aoki for his crazy stage antics and his ability to merge different genres of music together in a fun and delightful way. On this album he is working with artist such as Fall Out Boy, Will.i.am., Flux Pavilion and his most known for collaboration with dread head rap trap star Waka Flocka Flame, just to name a few. With all this talent and vision for something different I can only imagine what bangers Steve has in store with this album.
